Abstract
It has become increasingly common for anthropologists to act as expert witnesses, especially in cases involving indigenous land rights, asylum, and the “cultural defense.” Such involvement raises difficult ethical and professional issues for anthropologists, such as the tendencies of legal processes to require simple yes/no answers or to adopt overessentialized notions of “culture.” In cases involving juries, anthropological evidence may be deemed inadmissible because it addresses matters on which jurors must decide for themselves.
